At last, a clear night after many clouded ones

Here's the 17P/Holmes comet, it is passing the earth now and is very big. It just fits my eos400d sensor. The bright star is Mirfak in the constellation Perseus.






And M42 and M43, the Orion nebula (even visible to the naked eye on clear nights). It is a cloud with many very young stars 1600 lightyears distance from us.
